All morning long I’ve been JWoWW-ing over the makeup that Karl and Co. sent down the runway for Chanel’s Spring/Summer Haute Couture show in Paris earlier this week. Turns out the look was a sneak peak at a couple of soon-to-be launched pieces from their summer makeup collection.
Karl gave Peter Philips, the Global Creative Director of Chanel Makeup, three key images to inspire the makeup for the show: neon baroque, chemical pastels and liquid silver. Oh, Karl! You so crazy. 🙂
Peter managed to make it work, though, spotlighting lips with pops of neon matte coral. That’s Rouge Allure Lipstick in Genial, arriving on Chanel counters this May. I’m a *fiend* for coral lippies, so I’m definitely stalking this.
Are you drooling over this nail polish like I am? That’s Le Vernis Nail Colour in Silver. Sorry, US babes, the color isn’t available (yet) here, but I’m trying to find out if/when it might hit our shores. Will keep you posted…
The models also wore a new eyeshadow duo called Ombres Contraste Duo in Gris-Subtil. Officially, the 2010 launch date’s unknown, but off the record I’ve heard rumors that it might be hitting shelves in April, so keep your eyes peeled for that as well.
Your friendly neighborhood beauty addict,
Karen
P.S. Yikes! my tummy’s rumbling… What’s for lunch? I’m eating a turkey sandwich and a cup of minestrone soup.

January 29th, 2010 at 12:36 pmI *LOVE* that lip color. Now… only if I could find a way to pull it off… LOL
Karen says
January 29th, 2010 at 12:38 pmLOL, me too! I’m a little scurred that I’m going to look like a clown, but I don’t care. Must. Have. It. 🙂
Happy Friday!!

January 29th, 2010 at 1:02 pmI like the make up on that model – so light and airy but edgy and hot!!!!
Karen says
January 29th, 2010 at 1:40 pmYah! If I have time this weekend I’m going to see if I can improv this lip color… I dunno if I can wait ’till May, LOL!
Amanda says
January 29th, 2010 at 1:07 pmI adore (absolutely ADORE!) this lippie. I must have it too. It kinda reminds me of the spring pret-a-porter one from lancome, chris n tell, which I’ve been lovin’ too. but I didn’t want to go thru all the hassle of trying to track down a super limited edtion l/s, so getting the chanel is a MUCH better option for me. Plus I just love the color shown here. I’m also going to check out Bobbi Brown-i heard she is doing new coral lipsticks for spring too.
Karen says
January 29th, 2010 at 1:41 pmThe entire BB Coral Cabanas launch looks hawt. I haven’t had the chance to see it yet, but hopefully I’ll get to this weekend when I go to the mall.
How have you been? Got any exciting plans for the weekend?
Marce says
January 29th, 2010 at 1:21 pmAh, Karl, I pray that your imagination will keep up coming up with fabulous ideas, and Peter Phillips, I will construct an altar in your honor. I need that coral lippie!!!
How are you Karen? Long time no see! I was at the beach, but now I’m back I’m stalking you and Tabs again 🙂

Marce says
January 29th, 2010 at 5:53 pmYes, m’am! 😀 I got a tan anyway, bloody sun is so hot and strong these days! It’s so good to be back…

Devs says
January 29th, 2010 at 1:24 pmThat lip color is so freaking gorgeous!
Karen says
January 29th, 2010 at 1:43 pmRight? Don’t you love how it has a hint of neon!?
CC says
January 29th, 2010 at 1:41 pmMy favorite nail polish of the moment, Sally Hansen Xtreme Wear in Celeb City, looks just like that!!! It looks like silver foil in just 2 coats. 🙂
Karen says
January 29th, 2010 at 1:44 pmThanks for the dupe, CC! I hope I can find it…
CC says
January 29th, 2010 at 3:20 pmNo problem! I bought mine at Target. The shade isn’t on their website, but if you google it, you can see photos of it. It’s a little less delicate-looking than the Chanel shade, but still pretty great :). Just be sure to use a base coat so it’s easier to remove.
Anna Phylactyc says
January 29th, 2010 at 1:48 pmChina Glaze Millenium looks just like that np! And eh, I’m not much of a coral-lip kinda gal but now I want silver streaks in my bangs, go figure.
Katie says
January 29th, 2010 at 2:36 pmI think the lips would be beautiful for spring. I also really like the eyeshadow duo. The nails are gorgeous, but just not my style. 🙂
Vanessa H says
January 29th, 2010 at 3:34 pmI’m a little hesitant about the lips for myself, but love how they look on the models! I’m already loving silver nails, I have silver tips on mine right now!
Lunch was a turkey sandwich and a mini bag of hot cheetos (addicting little things).
Have you found your new shoes yet?

January 29th, 2010 at 4:17 pmI’ve always loved the combination of gray and coral. Nina was right when she said it’s edgy and hot. I can hardly wait to see the complete collection.
Sonja says
January 29th, 2010 at 5:30 pmThat lipstick WILL be mine. It’s just…right! The whole look just…fits!
It looks more like just rose mixed with creme pink to me…But I love the name too (my favorite Rouge Allure is called Genius, this is Genial, i’m just saying…)
Ah, lunch, that was half a day ago..let me see, a black risotto with calamari and some parmesan cheese.
Marley says
January 29th, 2010 at 6:59 pmI have to have that lipstick. Like, NOW. I’m obsessed with corals. I’ve got Lancome’s Chris and Tell coming in the mail (it gets here Wednesday!!!) and I’m sitting here mentally cataloguing all my coral lipglosses and lipsticks….I really like Clinique’s Peach Pop too- it’s more of a true coral than the Chanel, but the same satiny finish.
Erin says
January 29th, 2010 at 7:05 pmI LOVE this whole look! The nails, lips, etc. Hope the polish comes out here!

Tavia says
January 29th, 2010 at 11:34 pmI love the lip color but I don’t like silver on my nails. What’s up with those huge bows? I really like bows, I own a few….but these are ridiculous. It would have been nice if they’ve made something that I could wear, well at list inspiring 🙂

January 29th, 2010 at 11:27 pmI will be on the look out for Rouge Allure in Genial for sure because I am loving matte/creme bright lipsticks. I hope the Silver nailpolish will be released in Canada too because I picked the Chanel Kaleidoscope two years ago and loved it. The chrome finish is hot!

May 3rd, 2010 at 8:50 pmDoes any one knows when/where will the Chanel “Genial” lipstick is going to be sold in Canada? Because I have been searching on the Chanel canadian website and the summer collection is not even featured (god knows why because we are already in may…). Any way, I’d appreciate any info, I am dying to buy this lipstick. 🙂

Veky says
January 30th, 2010 at 7:55 amLips are really very nice! I would love to wear this color but it’s just not for me 😀
On the other hand, I don’t like hair and clothes in this show, it looks somehow funny and unreal… 🙂

January 30th, 2010 at 10:31 amthose nails are totally not from a bottle! they are minx, the stuff Beyonce uses on her nails. After every single silver, gold, and bronze (Opi, Lippmann, Essie, Covergirl, Zoya, EVERYTHING!) Nothing looks like that. It’s the heat-applied nailpolish stuff,
Michele DiCola says
January 30th, 2010 at 1:24 pmI want that lipstick!

Mollie says
January 31st, 2010 at 9:26 amThat lippie reminds me of a toned-down version of MAC Impassioned. Also, I wonder if those pale blue/silver streaks are the look that Kate Moss was trying to emulate the other day at that Longchamp event?
Isa says
January 31st, 2010 at 11:03 amright Mollie.. like an impassioned but more corally — also looks like YSL’s #29 coral lippie.
Cris says
February 1st, 2010 at 9:01 pmI have a very similar color to that chanel lipstick, its MAC’s Fanfare. I love it!!!

Sakura says
February 5th, 2010 at 8:09 pmI love both! I’ve been craving coral because it reminds me of a summer trip to Miami! And silver nails-LOVE IT! It’s snowing here in Philly! Snow is so exciting—unless you have to drive! Tomorrow my husband and I hope to go sledding with the recycle bin lids!
